Recently, I ran D4 to see if there is anything new and interesting ... total meh. The game is pretty much dead, so I'm surprised anyone wants to make any collaboration. Literally, there were 3 people on the world boss.

If you tried it recently in Seasons thats because it was the end of the Season when everyone is waiting for the next Season and in this case the launch of the Expansion.
If it was the Eternal realm then no wonder cause almost nobody plays non Season in general.

I've started playing Vessel of Hatred yesterday and there are a LOT of ppl, even had some slight lag issues.

I'm still so upset I spent something like $69 bucks on this "game". Absolute garbage. I vowed to never be used like this again.

Blizzard “ snowball chance in hell” entertainment.

Yeah I said it before D4 that this was Blizz's last chance at redemption, but they failed with flying colours.

And no, we're not buying the 'expansion and now all is well' storyline once again. Diablo 3 didn't really change all that much either, they just removed all the bits people didn't like and added some grind. D4 is much the same, even with the recent revamp it all looks like they're tapping out of the old WoW playbook for the umpteenth time. 'Oh look you can level faster now' 'You get more drops' yadayadayada. Just push the gambler's grinder's buttons a bit and they'll log back in, right?

Its a mindless zombie treadmill that I'm glad I stepped out of. Blizzard created a service model, not a game, its been crystal clear from the release onwards.

Yep been full of players for me as well every game I load in. Really doesn't matter to me either way though because I have people to play the game with regardless but it does make the Realm walkers and world bosses a lot faster I guess.

New class is a lot of fun btw.

Yeah it is fun, as an ex Monk main from D3 this class suits me well.:)
Funny looking at my friend list and its like everyone is playing the new class.:laugh: 'I mean that was to be expected'

Luckily my oldest D2 friend picked up the game in Season 5 and he is very reliable+actually plays the end game properly so I won't have to play the Citadel Raid with randoms when we get to that point with our chars.

I had more fun playing Diablo 2 reboot at $20 than the brand new 4th one! And I've played D2 for... 15 years?!

The WoWization of every blizzard project has destroyed all the fun in their games. Did not like the third one with its arcade/wow touch to it, absolutely hated the fourth, I am freaking done.

All it took for them was playing the first one again, then the second one, absorbing the darkness, the dungeon creeping feeling, the fun of doing it with some friends, but that seemed too hard.

And here I am still raging so hard about it. I liked the first one and the second one that bad, that it's still painful to talk about :(
